Alice 1

The Red Queen walked to her And asked: "My lovely little girl, What made you come again Into this world of mind whirl And realm of absurd dream, The field of nonsense reign?" And Alice smiled and then replied "You see that wonder train, I'd like to get on it And make a trip across your land To get to square number eight. I'm so sorry, I've no time in hand, I have to hurry and reach the place Within... I think I'd better say Six hours or so. The reason is, My majesty, in fact that day by day I'm growing older, and pretty soon I'll reach the age when two famous hearts Were touched with love to be The greatest legend in all the parts Of human world. Of course, you know The names of lovers who I mean. And there, on square number eight, I wish to meet Romeo of my dream. To be his only beloved I left my home and through the looking-glass I went." The Queen took Alice By her hand and said: "My naive lass, To be a Juliet you ought to know One sombre fact - the lovers you're talking of, They both had to die too young, 'Cause otherwise the most magnificent love Would gradually have faded and Become a dull routine, a boring grind. Remember this: to give a legend Longlasting future that leaves behind The other stories of the sort Two things are needed, the couple's not to split, Youth and Death, they only Can make a love an everlasting hit."
